“When Michael came to the Foundation 2 Crisis Services’ Fostering Futures program after aging out of the Iowa foster care system, he was homeless and unemployed. He had dropped out of high school and did not know how to live independently. Michael worked with his Fostering Futures case manager to re-engage in his education and build positive habits. Michael was able to graduate high school and secure an apartment. He is now attending community college and has an interview for a work study position at school. Michael can stay engaged with Fostering Futures through age 23 to help him reach and maintain stability as an independent adult.”
